Installing Ollama to Customize My Own LLM

Ollama is the easiest tool to get started running LLMs on your own hardware. In my first video, I explore how to use Ollama to download popular models like Phi and Mistral, chat with them directly in the terminal, use the API to respond to HTTP requests, and finally customize our own model based on Phi to be more fun to talk to.
